With your help, we will:
- Create jobs and support local communities
- Improve climate change resilience & mitigation
- Restore forest cover to improve food and water security
WHY WE DO IT
With 65% of Africa's agricultural land facing degradation, economic and environmental challenges are intensifying. Climate change exacerbates these issues with lower crop yields, erratic rainfall and prolonged droughts, making life increasingly difficult. Despite holding 17% of the world's forest cover, Africa's forests are threatened by deforestation.With approximately 800 million hectares of land needing restoration, African landscapes hold tremendous potential. This potential positions Africa as a leader in environmental recovery, supported by thousands of Restoration Champions. Through TerraFund for AFR100, these champions, and the local communities where they operate, are empowered to restore biodiversity and pursue sustainable economic development.As tree planting costs are higher in Australia, we have aligned our costs to make sure we're creating an impact. We plant one tree for every $3 USD donated.
HOW WE DO IT
TerraFund for AFR100 is helping to empower an unprecedented environmental and socio-economic transformation across Africa. By 2028, the efforts of 100 restoration champions will culminate in planting over 14 million trees, rejuvenating 20,000 hectares of land, and improving natural regeneration. This monumental effort will restore vital nutrients to the soil, control erosion, enhance biodiversity, and contribute significantly to combating the global climate crisis.
Beyond ecological benefits, the initiative will create over 35,000 jobs, fostering sustainable living and poverty reduction within local communities. Moreover, it will extend its impact to over 200,000 individuals by improving food security and providing comprehensive training programs to enhance on-ground knowledge and capabilities. This holistic initiative empowers communities and unlocks significant market opportunities for growth, development, and scalable economic benefits, ensuring lasting environmental and economic impacts across Africa.
